Hetal’s Homemade is a family-run business that began in 1999 and has grown over the past two decades into a widely loved brand offering handmade sweets, festive beverages, and flavored coffees.
Its ethos is deeply rooted in familial kitchen traditions, especially those passed down through Hetal Jhaveri’s mother-in-law. With a menu of over 32 distinctive sweet offerings, the brand combines the warmth of home with festive elegance.
Known for its thoughtful packaging, Hetal’s Homemade approached Pomoco for a third time in 2022 to design their Diwali Special Edition packaging, this time, seeking to mark a shift in spirit following the prolonged disruption of the pandemic.
Pomoco developed the theme ‘Seven Suns of Hope,’ a metaphorical representation of healing and renewal after a period of collective grief and uncertainty.
The design referenced Kerala’s mural art style and reinterpreted it into free-flowing line illustrations. The illustration was intentionally unanchored without a top or bottom, so that the artwork could be viewed and enjoyed from any perspective.
Sun motifs, symbolized the passing of time and the gradual return of warmth, while sunflowers stood in as markers of brightness and continuity.
The concept aimed to balance emotional gravity with lightness, using visual storytelling to invite quiet reflection during celebration. The colour palette leaned into deep midnight blues as a grounding base, punctuated by bursts of saffron orange and sunflower yellow.
The illustrations were applied across mithai boxes, coffee sleeves, and hamper packaging. ‘Seven Suns of Hope’ extended Hetal’s visual tradition of celebrating family and festivity through design that felt grounded, introspective, and quietly radiant.
